Michael Bay screened Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for Steven Spielberg today on the Sony Lot, and according to Bay, Steven loved it.

“Steven Spielberg sat next to me in a big 100 person theater at Sony today,” wrote Bay on his online forum. “There were 98 empty seats. The lights came up after we just watched my cut of Revenge of the Fallen. He turned to me and said ‘It’s awesome’ He felt this movie was better then the first – and probably my best, who knows – at this point in a movie you start to lose your objectivity. I just hope the fans like it.”

Of course, this is all according to the guy who made the movie. Bay went on to say that they just got done cutting a new trailer for the film, which will be attached to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which hits theaters on May 1st. So if you needed a reason to see Wolverine on the big screen, you might now have one.
